ABOUT THE ARTIST

Signing as Una St Tropez, the artist declared her artistic debut in the village of her dreams. In the late ’90 Una discovered St Tropez and decided to dedicate her life to art. Having spent 7 years in her gallery in St Tropez, Una decided to face the world herself. London, Paris, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Portofino, Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Moscow welcomed the collections that depicted the artist’s impression of the cities. From Royals to commoners, new people and different countries inspire new colours and techniques.

Every painting is dedicated to Richard, her guide and true friend in life. Una remains loyal to St Tropez where she creates most of her collections. Una St Tropez adopts unique approach in combining ancient with modern, applying beeswax to minimalist and contemporary perception of the portrait. Expression remains intense and charged, just like the artist’s approach to her subject. Following trip to St Petersburg Una St Tropez decides to do a tribute to Rudolf Nureyev and mark the 20th anniversary of his death. “Dialogue with Nureyev” records the intense rendez-vous between the artist and the dancer in the world where Art is eternal. The transformed union becomes passionate, strict and monumental where secrets are shared with ease. The world emerges animated by discussions about love, friendship, icons and influences. Picasso, Dostoyevski, Michelangelo and Che among others join the vivid discussion and we remain, as ever, immersed in the world of Rudolf Nureyev. Guided into the sphere of sacred and eternal, best depicted by her art, Una St Tropez delivers the details of “Dialog with Nureyev” thriving on the eternity of a true Artist.
